I definitely like to have a good time. I've always walked that line of being able to flip the switch. There's a time to be loose, and there's a time to be serious. I try to be very aware of that. |
In chess, you can analyze an entire game in your mind -- I probably can't anymore, but at one point, I could go 20, 25 moves deep in my mind, going through certain variations. When you're on the mound, you're thinking of certain situations: This guy did this last time; he's expecting this; he wants this; if he hits it here, we're going to do this. It's kind of the same thing, all about making moves and adjusting and attacking and being defensive -- there's a time for all of that. |
